I can’t believe it has to be said, but your company’s “proprietary information” is not considered confidential if it’s easily obtained through a Google search result.

Post Body

I recently had a former employer reach out to me saying that I was in violation of my NDA agreement that I still have to abide by for the next few months.

To make it short and sweet: they believed me cloning a host through Vsphere and then upgrading the host’s Windows Server version to something newer was considered their confidential information, if not a trade secret.

If I can easily find out how to do something through Google, it’s not considered the company’s proprietary information. Good lord I can’t believe this has to be explained…
